A
man of experience and insight

Is it possible for us to establish a sane
world? Dr George's newest book says emphatically
YES.

The people who say it cannot be done should
not disturb the people doing it. (Ancient Chinese
proverb).

Between the ages of fourteen and twenty-four,
George worked as a newspaper delivery boy. a
farm hand, a truck driver, a draftsman, an insurance
underwriter, a shoe salesman, a teaching assistant
and researcher, a producer of children's records,
and a ski instructor.

Dr. Marshall was the Chairman and Founder of
Clear
Picture Corporation until retirement in
2001. George received his PhD. in Psychology
from New York University and has held professorships
in departments of psychology, management and
computer science in various universities in
Canada and the United States.

He has authored three previous books (all published
by Prentice-Hall) on the application of information
technology to problem analysis and communication
and a book of children's poetry entitled This
Bus is Stuffed to the Brim.

George has been a student of Tibetan Buddhism
for three decades. He was born in London, England,
lived for many years in the United States and
currently makes his home on a small farm in
Nova Scotia. His two married children, both
visual artists, and their spouses and one grandchild
live in Holland.

His latest book is "From a World of Madness to
a World of Sanity: Guides for Action".

Such a grand survey

"I did enjoy Marshall's book, From a World
of Madness to a World of Sanity: Guides for Action,
which is such a grand survey of this important
terrain. No wonder people find it inspiring."
